Report on Inc / Dec Puck possession over first 40 games

[hf101]

Jason Burough of NBC Sports took the score-adjusted Fenwick for all 30 NHL teams in their last 20 games then subtracted the score-adjusted Fenwick from their first 20 games.

 

The results show which teams are improving and those like the Wild which have completely lost it since the start of the season.   Maybe this should be the new way to obtain power rankings.

@hf101  An interesting perspective. Just for power rankings in general, I love this one from myhockeytraderumors.com.....it's a consensus from 6 different sites that all go into making one accurate depiction. I really like it cause one author or site can have a inaccurate rankings, but hard to screw up the 6 combined....maybe a bit flawed, but for the most part pretty accurate.
